David Beard On Refurbishing Your Metabolism For Weight Loss
2024-12-19
David Beard is a highly experienced Exercise Physiologist based in Perth, Western Australia.
In this episode, David reflects on his long career being involved in helping people to lose weight.
We cover his thoughts and observations on:
what has worked what has failed what he's observed about people who have managed to lose a lot of weight and keep it off (what do they do?)We touched on these topics:
1// Metabolic flexibility (what it is and why it matters)
2// Using indirect calorimetry (what is this technology and what useful information can it provide?)
3// Why is it that a low carb diet can help you lose weight?
4// The centrality of managing hunger (and not neccessarily getting rid of it) for successfully losing weight
5// The limitations of the calories in/calories out model
6// Can people lose a lot of weight without structured exercise?
